thats the grand lie. tha tpeople get rich at the expense of either, as if one person cant get rich without another getting poor. it indicates am imfantile understanding of economics. and when enough people think this stupid crap is true they do real damage to poor people by stifling the economy.
There isn't a finite amount of wealth. It isn't a zero sum game where someone gets rich and someone else must get poor.
When the boat is in danger of sinking and the richest 2% watch while having champagnes and caviar, sometimes they get thrown overboard. It is in the fat cats interest to have a big and comfortable middle class and an insignificantly small poor and angry class. Nobody wants all of their money. This tax is a roundoff error to them.
The boat is sinking b/c it was over-taken by the pirates (the govt). Being pissed off at the rich or taxing them to oblivion won't help. Make everyone pay a fair share. Free-Loaders can GTFO.
How are these people getting rich Martin? How many people in the top 2% made their wealth with no help at all from the common working man?
You can flip that around too. How many of these guys got rich without employing people or paying for services that created income for other business.
